SILK Keeling
At the Board of Trade Rooms at $3.50 z. VI.
Today,

Prof. I. Homer late of the Kansas State
Silk station, at Peabody, and a gentleman
who has devoted his life to the develop
ment Of methods for producing and utiliz-
ing silk of American growth and manu-
facture, will give an exhibition of silk reel
ing from Kansas grown cocoons at the
board of trade rooms at $3.50 O'Clock this
afternoon. to which all of the members OF
the board are invited.
The professor has attained great success
in developing the cultivation and manu-
facture of Kansas grown silk; so much
that indications point very strongly to a
revolution in the silk business which may
yet by Kansas be made one of the greatest
of our American industries, just as she has
made sorghum sugar one of them.
The professors object in making this ex-
hibition is to see if he can not induce
Wichita capitalists to form a company to
develop the industry and form nucleus
for the cultivation Of cocoons, which can
be raised anywhere in the state and shipped
here, for making into the various forms in
which silk can be used.
Should Wichita be made such a center,
the professor says, there is a large silk
manufacturer waiting 10 eoIdDlISu all IHl-
mense factory here or wherever the cocoons
can be procured
Professor Horner has some beautiful
samples Of silk in all stages of manufac-
ture, from the cocoon to an elegant black
silk dress pattern, all Of which are made of
Kansas grown silk aud manufactured by
Bedding Bros, silk manufacturers, who
have written several quite enthusiastic let
ters upon the subject of Kansas silk and
are confident Of its ultimate success as a
commercial product.
The cultivation of silk will give employ
ment to thousands of people and will
bring millions of dollars into Kansas,
whose climate and soil are especially
adopted to this new industry.
Other places in the state are anxious to
embark in the enterprise but Prof. Horner
is under at least moral obligations to GER
tain gentlemen here to afford Wichita an
opportunity of developing the business
here. Dry Goods men particularly, are re-
Quested 10 be present and inspect the work.

AFTER TEN YEARS.

Nr. s. I. Mogan, of Buffalo, New York.
is in the city on western prospecting
tour. He was IN Wichita near ten years
ago. and says that he put Kansas towns at
a limit of 1000 inhabitants To reach
that number Of people he thought would
be a struggle of several long and tedious
years. He could not see in the broad ex-
panse of rich soil a call for great city.
When be arrived in the city Thursday hi
was quite surprised TO see 80 much of a
city about him. As he expresses il he
hired a rig and drove around the city for a
half day and never struck the suburbs
\ city of over 10000 people was decidedly
greater than he had expected He viii re-
main IN the city some days looking over
what he terms the most wonderful growth
